Chapter 367: Silver Castle
"It turned out to be a city defense facility", Huang Ming knew now.
It's no wonder that Huang Ming is a modern person, not to mention that he has never been to the Immortal Cultivation Sect, even if he is a mortal in the ancient city, he has never been there, so it is normal not to know.
But now it's Emma's turn to be curious.
"Huang Daoyou, don't you have city defense facilities in Great Xia?"
"Well, there is, but our immortal cultivators and mortal martial cultivators in Great Xia are separated, immortal cultivators live in the mountains, and only mortals and martial cultivators live in the city, so the city's defense facilities are all aimed at mortals"
Huang Ming began to make up again.
"Immortal cultivation and mortal martial cultivation are separated? Then how do you mortals and martial cultivators in Great Xia manage? ”
"Do they take care of themselves? Our mortals and martial cultivators in Great Xia have emperors, they use martial arts to establish the country and enter the Tao with martial arts, once they are promoted to immortal cultivation, they have to leave the mortal city and join the immortal cultivation sect", Huang Ming continued.
"Mortals and martial cultivators can also be called emperors? Once you become an immortal cultivator, you have to leave the city and join the immortal cultivation sect? ”
Emma looked dazed, she had never heard of what Huang Ming said.
"That's right, our immortal cultivators need time to cultivate, how can we have so much time to manage mortals and martial cultivators"
"But what if you mortals and martial cultivators in Great Xia don't obey the management of immortal cultivators?"
"No, mortal martial cultivators listen to the emperor, but the emperor has to listen to immortal cultivators, this is called hierarchical management"
"Hierarchical management? Well, I understand, no wonder your Great Xia is the strongest among the three major human races, not only have six immortal cultivation factions, but also scattered cultivation branches, it turns out that you spend all your time managing mortals to cultivate, well, yes, this is really a good way"
Emma was taken to the ditch by Huang Ming again.
"But I'm talking about normal, if the beast tide really breaks out in the Barbarian Beast Continent, then we will definitely have to take care of the immortal cultivators"
Huang Ming finally came back, if he continued to talk about it, then he would have to tell Emma about the history of China.
Emma nodded: "Well, yes, the matter of the Barbarian Beast Continent concerns our entire human race, and I will see my father in a while, you must explain your investigation in detail and let them know that this matter is very serious."
"Don't worry, it's just that my eloquence is not as good as that bright egg, in case I can't tell me, you have to help me"
"Well, I will, my father is very sensible, not to mention that this is originally a major event for our human race"
Chatting and chatting, the team escorting the spirit stones had unconsciously arrived in front of the largest ancient castle on the top of the mountain.
It is an ancient castle similar to a Mayan temple, with a pedestal and steps, a boxy boulder mound, unusually majestic and unusually tall, and two huge humanoid statues holding weapons behind the entrance.
Outside the castle is a large square, surrounded by flowers and trees, and there is a fountain in the middle standing in this square to overlook the silver city under the mountain, the scenery is good.
As soon as the team entered the square, more than a dozen Dan Xiu came up, and then led Elder Hong and them to unload the spirit stone.
Huang Ming and Emma followed a young man who was also in the late stage of Jindan into the main gate of the ancient castle, and the head of the silver castle, that is, Emma's father, and several infant elders had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
After entering the ancient castle and walking along the corridor for a few minutes, a large hall appeared, and Huang Ming finally came to the sect hall of Jiyin Castle, one of the four great immortal cultivation sects in the Baiyi Realm, and really met the Yuan Infant Stage cultivators in this world.
Emma's father is in the late Yuan Infant period, sitting at the head of the main hall, with broad shoulders and a thick back, a big belly and a round waist, a curly beard, white skin, broom, eyebrows, big eyes, and a gold ring on his head, which is very majestic, but he doesn't look like Emma at all.
It seems that Emma should have followed her mother, and her mother should also be a big beauty.
On Emma's father's left side sat two early infant elders, and on the right side there was an empty chair, which should be the position of the mid-Yuan elder among the three infant elders of Jiyin Castle, but somehow he didn't come.
Emma led the way to the middle of the hall, then stepped forward and bowed slightly to his father and the two elders.
"Emma Meets Father and Meets Two Elders"
Huang Ming next to him breathed a sigh of relief, he thought he was going to kneel, and he was a little resistant in his heart, but now it's okay.
"Well, it's good to come back, how are things going?"
Emma's father asked with a blank face.
"Back to my father, the spirit stone mine has been cleaned up, and the last batch has a total of forty-two earth-attribute top-grade spirit stones, 13,200 high-grade spirit stones, 134,300 middle-level spirit stones, and 236,000 low-level spirit stones."
"Well, yes, my Elba said you have other important things to report?"
Emma's father nodded and asked.
"Yes father, the cleanup of the spirit stone mine went smoothly, but we encountered a brute beast when we evacuated, and the fellow immortal cultivators who went with me to escort the spirit stone mine have all died."
"All killed?"
One of the early infant elders, who was sitting to the left of Emma's father, was taken aback.
Emma's father frowned as well.
"There are originally six people in the spirit mine, plus you and Witt are eight immortal cultivators, what kind of brute beast will kill them all? What the hell is going on, Emma, tell me a little bit more about it."
"Yes, Father," Emma continued.
"We were about to return after cleaning up the spirit stone mine that day, but as soon as we opened the phantom array, we found that there were more than twenty different types of fifth-level brute beasts rushing towards the gate of the wilderness."
"In order to buy time to protect the spirit stone, I asked the low-level martial cultivators to protect the spirit stone and go first, while Witt and I took the six immortal cultivators in the mine and the high-level martial cultivators sent by the Flash Silver Sect to stop the attack."
"You have encountered more than twenty different kinds of fifth-level brute beasts?"
The elder who had been surprised before interjected again.
"How is that possible? The Spirit Stone Mine is in the Wilderness Plains, where there are only brute beasts below the third level, and besides, different brute beasts will fight with each other, how can they attack you together? ”
Another elder chimed in.
"Elders, can you please let me finish my sentence?"
Emma's words were interrupted and she was a little angry.
"Alright, elders, don't be impatient, Emma, you go on"
Emma's dad spoke.
"Father, in fact, not long after Witt and I arrived at the Spirit Stone Mine, the camp set up by the Flash Silver Gate to guard the water source outside was attacked by brute beasts."
"Just in case, I made the beast hunting mission of the Flash Silver Gate advanced, and temporarily decided not to eat the meat of the brute beasts, just fix it outside the Thousand Needles Soil Forest for a month, but I didn't expect them to encounter the brute beasts and almost wipe them out."
"Flash Silver Gate is almost completely wiped out?"
This time it was Emma whose father was taken aback.
"Emma, what the hell is going on? You say it from the beginning".
"Back to my father, according to Elder Hong, who survived the Flash Silver Gate, they entered the Wilderness Plains for more than 20 days, and they almost didn't encounter any brute beasts, and only encountered a fourth-level crusty jackal beast on the fifth day when they were defending outside the Thousand Needles Soil Forest."
"But five or six days later, dozens of different second- and third-level brute beasts suddenly rushed out of the Thousand Needles Soil Forest, and the Flash Silver Gate was almost completely wiped out, Rambo led people to take away more than a dozen, and the rest rushed to the Maomaoqing camp where the Spirit Stone Mine was located."
"So that's the case, well, there are brute beasts from level one to level six in the Thousand Needles Earth Forest, and it's not strange to rush out dozens of second and third level ones, but the hundreds of martial cultivators of your eight Immortal Cultivators and mining are almost all wiped out, which is a bit surprising."
"Father, it's not like this, we met the fifth level, not these second and third levels"
Emma hurriedly said.
"These two or three barbarian beasts that rushed to the spirit stone mine were killed by two Great Xia Immortal Cultivators, and they happened to pass by, not only killing the brute beasts, but also saving Elder Hong and a few other martial cultivators from the Flash Silver Gate."
"Great Xia Immortal Cultivator?"
Emma's father was taken aback, and the two elders also looked a little surprised.
"Yes, father, these two Great Xia martial cultivators went to the Barbarian Beast Continent to investigate the great changes in the environment, and we later came out of the Spirit Stone Mine and encountered more than twenty different kinds of fifth-level brute beasts, and they also came to the rescue."
Emma finally finished speaking.
